Headlight Bezels

[Bangorboy]

Hello again to the Railwire.
I haven't been active for along time, about 9 years.  I'm trying to get back to detailing rolling stock, putting decoders in locos, laying more track, etc.
The latest snag besides not being able to find dedicated decoders for locos I bought a long time ago, is trying to mount headlights in the ones I do have.  I used to use bezels from Sunrise Enterprises, but I heard they went out of business a long time ago (at least for the bezels).
Since there is obviously still a need to mount headlights in locos, what do the Railwire lurkers do for bezels nowadays?

Welcome back Bill.
Locos come with the headlight bezels already molded on the front and back of the shell.  I'm not  sure what you are asking for. Or are you asking for additional lighting "packages" that some railroads like Southern Pacific added to their locos?

Detail Associates makes a few such parts.  Pyle Gyralite, and another dual headlight and a single Gyralite at least.

I guess I hadn't thought how vague this could be.
I like using incandescent bulbs better than LEDs.  LEDs work fine when they are lighting up inside the roof of a passenger car, etc.  But when they are visible head on, like a loco headlight, nothing looks like an incandescent bulb except and incandescent bulb.

I was thinking particularly about a loco ( I think a Kato PA1) that I converted to dual headlights so I could have a MARS light on it.  The grain-of-rice bulbs were too small to fit in the original hole, so I used Sunrise bezels to have a metal surround that looks like a reflector in a headlight housing.
I still have one set of Sunrise bezels.  I think they are made of some soft metal alloy.  Instructions were to polish the chamfer in the front end of the hole to get that shiny reflector effect.  Problem is, I still have several more locos to install decoders and lighting.
I was wondering if someone had found a source of tubing with thick-enough walls, or something else to serve the purpose.  Or maybe a source where I could buy more Sunrise bezels.
Sorry for not being clear, and thanks for the replies.

K&S makes, or used to make, aluminum tubing, which could be found at many hobby and hardware stores.  The ranged from 1/16 inch up, with each size 1/32 inch larger than the last, and 1/64 inch walls.  since the sizes were made to be nested, you could build up whatever size you need, and, if a little large, could easily turn it to size with a small drill and file.
